Proverbs 11:5

Proverbs 11:5

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

'Perfect' here means wholehearted, not sinless — a person fully devoted to God. Their righteousness becomes a guide that directs their path. The wicked, however, are undone not by some outside force but by the natural consequences of their own wickedness.

Memory phrase: Right living guides you.

Talk about it: How do our choices make our path easier or harder?

Prayer: God, direct my path by Your righteousness.
